college
1. Your student's chances of getting in are improved. The chances are good of getting into some college, but your choice of a right-fit college must consider these critical elements: location, costs, major, costs, size, costs, academics, and costs. The more right-fit colleges you apply to, the better your chances of getting accepted.
2. More financial aid is available. By contrast imagine a student who applies to 5 colleges: at best the student gets maybe 2 decent offers, each of which will be different. That means you only have 2 buckets of money (read: discounts) to pick from. On the other hand, if you have 4 buckets to pick from, that's doubling your buckets which makes your choice more attractive and easier.
3. You're in control. college marketing strategies are very good at making you think they are in control. The fewer colleges you apply to means the more control you have given to the application process; the more colleges you apply to means the more control you have: you have a far greater variety of options that you don't have with fewer colleges.
4. Take an offensive posture. No, I don't mean that you ought to be nasty, but to take the attitude that you don't need any one particular college as the be-all and end-all; that's a dangerous approach to selecting colleges. Just as you don't need any one particular college to meet life's challenges and survive, having ten to choose from makes the choosing of a college on your terms, not on someone else's. This is taking real ownership of the process, something admission people love to see in an applicant.
